Police said Johnson dropped the safe and ran from police before being taken into custody. The back door of the safe had been forced open, police said.

Johnson was originally arrested Dec. 4 on a charge of interference with official acts, a simple misdemeanor. Police have added charges of third-degree burglary, a class D felony, and fourth-degree theft, a serious misdemeanor. If convicted on all counts, he could face up to six years in prison.

Court documents show Johnson had outstanding warrants to appear in court on charges of possession of a controlled substance and driving while barred. He is being held at the Johnson County Jail on a $15,500 bond.

The other men arrested in connection with the shooting are Dimione J. Walker, 24, Brandon L. Juniel, 22, Daivon D. Jones, 18, Victor B. Jones, 18, and an unnamed juvenile.

Johnson, Daivon Jones, Victor Jones, Walker and the juvenile were charged with interference with official acts, a simple misdemeanor, and Juniel was charged with a controlled substance violation, according to an Iowa City Police Department news release. The juvenile was also charged with possession of a controlled substance.

On Thursday, days after his arrest on the interference charge, Walker, of North Liberty, was involved in a hit and run accident in a parking lot at the Beaver Creek Center in North Liberty, the complaints state.

Police said Walker got in an argument with the people in a vehicle, brandishing a gun and telling them "I'm gonna blast you." He was then hit by the vehicle, the complaints state.

Walker does not have a permit to carry firearms, police said. After the argument, police said he stashed the gun, which was later found by officers and discovered to be stolen out of Iowa City.

Walker has been charged with first-degree harassment, assault while displaying a dangerous weapon and carrying weapons, all aggravated misdemeanors, and fourth-degree theft, a serious misdemeanor. If convicted on all counts, he could face up to seven years in prison. He is currently being held at the Johnson County Jail on a $10,000 bond.
